To consider application UTT/21/1755/DFO.

The Senior Planning Officer presented an application for the erection of up to 30 dwellings with associated roads and infrastructure.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

Comments were made in respect of:

·         The market housing mix being too heavy with large houses.

·         Landscaping around the scattered and curved plots being inefficient.

·         Provision for additional tree screening and soft planting.

·         Single point of access.

·         Renewables and rainwater harvesting.

·         Access to the Village Hall.

·         Access via Jolly Boys Lane by construction traffic.

The Chair proposed that the application be approved with additional conditions; a construction management plan to include no parking on Parish Land or the Parish Council’s car park or access via Jolly Boys Lane by construction traffic without consent of the Parish Council, details of rainwater harvesting and renewables and a ten-year planting requirement whereby anything that dies within 10 years has to be replaced.

This was seconded by Councillor Pavitt.

RESOLVED to approve the application with additional conditions.

Councillor R F Freeman (on behalf of Felsted PC) spoke against the application. N Tedder (Agent) spoke in support of the application.

The meeting adjourned at 3.20 pm and reconvened at 4.20 pm.
